grievance #2: asana doesn't use query params to store your filter settings, so you can't bookmark a specific view without clicking "save view" which persists the settings for everyone. It also means navigating backwards loses your settings.

grievance #1: put my computer into sleep, then windows 11 decided to do an update and reboot, even though I had a bunch of apps open

I made a app
3 years ago... and now I've just finished rewriting it.

Wrote about some Biff-related experimentation I've been doing over the past ~6 months.

Structuring large Clojure codebases with Biff
I've been rewriting my reading app from scratch and open-sourcing it in the progress. I'm using it to experiment with new Biff features.

I think I/the world would get more benefit from decentralized reddit/forums than decentralized twitter. I wonder if you could do a reddit-style thing over the at protocol. maybe each subreddit is a unique account, and you submit posts by mentioning that account? etc

I think I use this tidbit from Intro to Logic more regularly than anything that was discussed in my CS classes

Idly thinking about if you could use bluesky as a newsletter + RSS client somehow? though I'm guessing the pluggable algo stuff only lets you provide a feed of posts that are already exposed through the AT protocol...
